AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package automatically sends an install-time request to a publisher-selected endpoint, with a hardcoded tag and no consent check. The lookup feature matches the package description, but the installation-triggered example is unnecessary and discloses the installer's network address. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:18:53.471Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:19:22.423Z - **Download time:** 776 ms - **Static scan time:** 31 ms - **AI review time:** 28144 ms - **Total time:** 28952 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically contacts a fixed external endpoint and sends a hardcoded authorization tag. The request exposes the installer's network address to that endpoint without installer consent. - **Trigger:** Installing the package, which runs the preinstall hook. - **Impact:** The endpoint can observe the installer's network address and associate the request with the hardcoded tag. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:19:22.423Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook runs index.js, which makes an HTTPS request to realwbx.com for a fixed IP lookup. - **Attack narrative:** The preinstall hook runs an example lookup that is unrelated to installation. It contacts a fixed external endpoint with a hardcoded authorization tag, exposing the installer's network address without a consent gate. - **Rationale:** The package automatically sends an install-time request to a publisher-selected endpoint, with a hardcoded tag and no consent check. The lookup feature matches the package description, but the installation-triggered example is unnecessary and discloses the installer's network address. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** realwbx.com, https://realwbx.com/ip.php ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook runs index.js automatically during installation., The entrypoint sends an HTTPS lookup request to realwbx.com with a hardcoded authorization tag., The entrypoint invokes the lookup unconditionally for a fixed public IP, without a consent check. - **Evidence against:** IP location lookup matches the package's stated purpose, but running its example during installation is not needed for that feature. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to xapi-lib@90.3.1. - Avoid installing xapi-lib@90.3.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
